It will come with metal parts to lock securing your stuff. Easy assembly will have you storing your stuff in less than an hour, depending on your abilities.

The pistons on the lid will help open and keep the lid open for removing and storing your goods. This box is weather resistant, not waterproof.
Assembly and use
Easy assembly as the big parts just snap together. There are 14 phillips screws that will require a screwdriver (not included) to secure, just do not over tighten as this unit is almost all plastic.
The bottom will come in two sections, snap together and secure with two screws (these screws will face down when finished building box). Snap front and back to a side. Slip bottom (one side is marked outside) into the side that has been attached, snap into side, then push the front and back into the bottom. Snap other side onto the assembly.
Secure gas piston powered hinges to lid with two screws each. Click the middle hinge onto the back of the lid and front lock part with a screw. Ask your partner to hold the lid while it is attached with two screws on each side. Attach middle hinge to box with two screws. Add the lock part on the front top of the box with the last of the screws, Make sure that it is in the right side on the indent to lock properly. You are ready to use your storage box.
Care of this unit will be an occasional rinse off with water. You must be careful when doing this as it is not waterproof. Parts are available from Keter customer service if you experience some defects.
My take on this product
This product is great for deck or pool side storage. It can keep quite a few items out of the weather. The biggest drawback of this items is that it is not waterproof and that the lid does warp when in the hot sun. Some customer complained that they were getting some visitors to the inside of their box, this is a common problem with resin storage boxes.
This storage box would work well next to your grill, you can keep all of your tools and have a seating place while cooking.
I would recommend sealing the gaps with a weatherproof caulk if you wanted more water proofing of this unit.

Handles make it easy to move when needed

If it sits in the sun the lid can warp, after the sun goes down the lid will return to its original shape

This looks perfect for my new living space in the country! I have a storage space similar to this and it comes apart if I just look at the dumb thing, or the wind blows. This is clearly better made, my kids won’t destroy it storing their outdoor toys in it, and the price is reasonable. Thanks for sharing! By the way, I really LOVE your whole website!
Robin,
Having a storage box that does not stay together is like not having one at all. The Keter storage box will last for many years if it does not get damaged from other use.
John
now that looks very useful and smart. Ill put it on my to buy list. Thank you very much
Dawn,
This size of storage box with seating will not work for all. It is very nice for many outside spaces for dual purpose solutions.
John
Well, I could see it being a good pool side storage. You don’t need pool stuff to be kept water tight. But I don’t have a pool and this is to big for my deck.
Becka,
Finding the right size of storage solutions for you will be your decision. Some people only have small outdoor spaces. I have some small options listed on other post.

I sure could use one of these for my deck, and the price is pretty good compared to other storage boxes I have seen. Your assembly instructions are good. Sometimes the instructions that come with a product aren’t good at all. How durable is it? Can I expect it to last a long time? Thank for this information.
Gary,
For the winters in Chicago, I would think this product would last longer than most. The summers are not that hot and the top warping should not be a problem.
